Nice charger, but there are alternatives April 4, 2008
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I like my Kindle AC charger - it's elegant and compact. Unfortunately at the time I needed a spare charger, it was on indeterminate multi-week backorder.
At that time, I went with the iGo Universal Wall (AC) and Auto (DC) Charger with iGo's Kindle Power Tip. That is working well.
The (cheaper) iGo Universal Wall (AC) Charger will also work with the same Kindle Power Tip.
Both of these are larger and less elegant than Amazon's Kindle charger. Now that the Amazon charger is available for immediate ship, these alternatives probably make less sense for normal use. However if you have multiple devices and only want to carry a single charger, the iGo chargers could still be useful.
 WARNING - UNAVAILABLE April 3, 2008

Don't expect to get a new power supply from Amazon. You won't even get a rational response from customer service in response to inquiries/complaints about the lack of availability of necessary peripherals for a $400 device.

Pros -
Charges the Kindle quickly (although this is more a property of the Kindle itself)
It's white - this helps to differentiate it from the brazillions of other charging devices cluttering my life.
Cons -
Metal pin is fragile - don't put too much force on the connection pin to the Kindle. It's easy to snap off and not as easy to repair. Hence - me writing this review of a replacement charger in the first place...
Summary -
It's a no frills charger, and it does ithe job well.
 Well made, low profile February 24, 2008

The Kindle Power Adapter works just as it should, charges the unit without a problem. I appreciate the way they positioned the prongs on the unit, so it works sideways giving it a low profile and allowing me to plug in to an extension cord or a regular outlet that may already have a few 'fat' adapter on it. This is a space-saver , especially if one has many gadgets.
 out of stock?? February 23, 2008

I left my charger on the other coast on vacation. For some reason Amazon did not see fit to have the Kindle able to recharge from USB although this is very easy to do. So I order one here only to find they are out of stock and my much loved unit is likely to be on empty before I get it.
What is the deal? Kindle is hyped to high heaven but Amazon hasn't bothered to set up to meet demand. My unit took nearly six weeks to arrive. Nor have they set up to meet accessory demand. Does Amazon want to be in this business or not? If they do then it is time to bring everything up to speed related to the unit.
Frankly I find it addictive and I order even more books than normal now, which is a lot. I think Amazon could profitably give a free Kindle to moderate to heavy ordering customers and do quite well.
